Abstract
Dai Zhang Ha songs are a special type of music of the Dai ethnic minority in Southwest China, which has a long history and cultural significance. This paper focuses on the performance characteristics of Dai Zhang Ha songs, the language and religious psychology, the natural environment and music creation, folk and professional performance, and the new Dai songs. It shows that Dai Zhang Ha songs focus on the phonetics of language and the richness of rhetoric, express the religious and spiritual worldview of the Dai people, and depict the harmonious coexistence of man and nature in their natural environment. Various types of folk transmission and professional performances offer important means for the preservation and propagation of Dai culture. The appearance of new Dai songs has brought new vigor to the development of Dai music in contemporary society. By examining these aspects of the songs, this paper demonstrates the significance and appeal of Dai Zhang Ha songs as a living cultural heritage in the contemporary world.
